McKensie and Lara
Mark smirked "yeah James kind of went against your dad's request...but it's cool now, I went to Hell...not what I expected."Damon shook his head "I just...no I need to stay awake!" He protested, he had to watch Taylor!
London nodded, "It's... interesting." She agreed. "But cool I guess." She shrugged. "And I'm not surprised that James did that. Demons don't really follow rules...." She walked over and sat on his bed. "Do you need any help?"Lexi frowned. "No. You don't. Get to bed this instant Damon, or so help me... you wont be happy." She said seriously, smiling a little.
Torch nodded. "Mhm. We've got everything under control here." He said seriously, guiding Damon towards the guest bedroom. "Go rest, you'll need it to take care of your family properly."
Mark shook his head "demon terminology? James just talks about all this stuff! I can't keep up..."Damon sighed hating being treated like a child, he grumbled and huffed crawling into bed "this is ridiculous..."
London nodded. "It will take a little getting used to." She agreed. "But I'm sure you'll get it." She promised. "I can try to help you, if you want..." She offered shyly. Torch smiled. "There you go." He said. "Goodnight." He shut the door gently and walked back to the girls. "He'll be fine." He promised.
Lexi relaxed a little. "Thank you." She breathed. "I hate to think that I tire him out so. He needs sleep."
Mark nodded with a small grin on his face "yeah...I'd like that a lot, anything to...get close to you again." He finally said quietly.Mae smiled at Torch "aww are you being the tough best friend?" She stretched up "how can't you stand to be in bed all day?..."
((I'm leaving in 25 min until sat.))London flushed beet red, smiling a little. "O-okay." She agreed softly. She moved a little closer to him. "I'll try to help out." She agreed. She was thrilled he wanted to spend time with her again.
Torch chuckled. "Sure, if you want to put it that way." He headed back out again. "I'm going to go raid your fridge."
Lexi sighed. "The baby doesn't like it when I'm standing because she get's less blood." She explained.
((Alright :( see you then!))Mark moved his hand over hers and looked into those deep eyes, "I never...wanted to hurt you London..."
Mae rolled her eyes "that one...always thinking about food." She rubbed Lexi's belly softly "how are the others taking it?"
(( :( ))London smiled a little. "I know it was hard to accept." she said softly, not able to look away. "So I understand. I'm not mad at you." She chewed on her lip. "Could we, um start again?"
Lexi sighed. "We haven't told many people." She said honestly. "Dem was fine with it. Maybe a little too smug. And Taylor liked hearing her sister. I hope Damon's ok with it. I know it's a bit of a shock for both of us....." She sighed. "They offered to end it, but we couldn't do that after Dem..."
Mark leaned in and kissed her lips softly to answer her. He smiled softly their foreheads resting against eachother "I told your brother I would never do that..."Mae nodded in understanding "it's a lot...that's why I'm taking no chances right now...seems demons are incredibly fertile!"
London bloomed with color, her heart racing. "I don't need to teach you how to be a demon, you can do that just fine." she teased, whispering. Lexi sighed. "Ugh, no kidding. I kinda wish we weren't. Would make life a lot more stress free." She shook her head.
Mark chuckled softly, not being able to tear his eyes away from her. He cupped her face and kissed tenderly but longer wanting to really enjoy her sweet taste.Mae nodded in agreement and leaned her head against the backboard "at least they grow pretty quickly right? Look at the twins and Dem we have teenagers now!"
London smiled sheepishly and leaned back into him, her arms wrapping around his shoulders. She let herself enjoy the kiss, even though it was foreign and different. Lexi sighed and nodded. "Seriously quickly. I'm still technically a teen... which makes this crazy for me."
Mark caressed her face and nuzzled her "you alright darling?"Mae nodded "that's true! But you can make your age increase!"
London smiled, leaning against his hand. "More than ever could be. Are you ok with this though? That we're both demons?" She asked nervously. Lexi sighed and shrugged. "I suppose. But it wouldn't feel right. I... I don't know. I don't want to make this whole thing weirder than it has to be." She sighed. "Mae... I really am sorry for all of this."
Mark nodded "it makes it perfect...we won't mind eternity because it will be us...I love you London, I have ever since the day I saw you...pigtails and all." He chuckled brushing his finger against her nose.Mae frowned "why are you sorry?...Dem can't age if he doesn't know..."
London grinned. "It feels like so long ago, and yet like no time has passed." She leaned her head on his chest. "I love you too."Lexi raked a hand through her hair. "I know... but I don't think I'll ever age myself. It just wouldn't feel right..."
Mark looked up and saw James "uh oh..." James was shocked and had no idea what to say, so he just left. He couldn't think about his sister and best friend...Mae shrugged "I don't know what to tell you..."
London bit on her lip. "I better go talk to him..." She said softly, shooting Mark an apologetic glance as she got up. She walked out and after James. "James..." She started.Lexi nodded, sighing softly. "It's alright. Could you check on Damon and Taylor for me? And make sure Dem isn't into too much trouble?" She asked, "If that's alright?"
James put his hand up "it's fine Loo...just don't let him hurt you, and I don't want to see that stuff."Mae nodded "of course!" She headed to Dem's room "Demetri?"
London walked over to him and hugged him. "We're still ok, right?" She asked hopefully. "This wont get between us?"Demetri looked up and smiled politely. "Hi Mrs. Milton."
Lexi flipped over when Mae left and covered her face with the pillow as tears squeezed from her eyes. Why am I like this? She thought miserably to herself. I am a danger to my family, and the reason Damon is worn out. They'd be better off without me.
James shook his head "nothing could get in between us..." He pat her back "it just won't be the same alright?"Mae smiled "Mae" she reminded "what's been going on?"
London frowned a little, backing up. "What?" She asked. "It wont be the same? What do you mean?" She asked softly. Dem shrugged. "Taylor's napping in the next room. Torch ate all our food, and I've been reading." He said honestly.
Lexi bit her lip, her mind conflicted. If she stayed, she risked hurting Damon further, hurting Taylor and her family, and hurting the Miltons, everyone she loved. But if she left, she would keep them safe. It would only be for a while... Lexi got up and packed a small suitcase with bloodbags, IV's, and tubes, and another with clothes for her, and the child when it was born. Biting her lip to keep the tears away, she wrote a note to Damon and slipped it under his door before flying out the window, and then using her vamp speed to get far far away. The note read:
Damon,
I can't hurt you, or our family, and my presence is doing just that. I have decided to leave for the duration of the pregnancy. I will be back, in two months, when our child is born.
I love you,
Lexi
James shrugged "you are like my little shadow, I always protect you. Mark has that job now and I'm glad! But it won't be the same..."Mae smiled holding back a laugh "well how's training? With Lukas? How's that been?"
London nodded slowly, sad that she could have Mark, and have things the same with James at the same time. "Ok." She said softly. "I love you. Always will." She whispered, giving him a weak smiled, before walking back out again. Dem smiled. "It's been great. I enjoy it." He nodded. "Different from Earth though."
Lexi flew across the ocean in a matter of minutes, and to an old town in England. It was a small town, but a fairly cozy one, and she immediately got searching for a place where she could work to earn a roof over her head.
Mark looked up "is everything ok? Does your brother hate me?"Mae smiled "that's good! Excited for your new baby sister?"
Damon couldn't sleep, it wasn't his nature to rest when there was trouble, he blinked seeing the note and swore "no...no...no" he was in a very weakened state but he went to Torch showing him the note "the tube can get infected, she's had a history of a problem pregnancy..."
London smiled. "Yeah. Everything is fine. He doesn't hate you." She promised. "A few things are different between us now... but he still wants to be friends with you."Dem smiled. "Yeah. I am. Kinda wish the little sucker was a boy though. I'll be outnumbered two to one with another girl in the house." He joked, shaking his head.
Torch put down the sandwich he had been eating, even after he had emptied their fridge. He read the note quickly and frowned. "So we need to get her back then?" He asked.
Lexi, after wandering the town, found an old farm she could cook at, in exchange for a room to herself. She immediately got to work to keep her mind off what she had left back home.
Mark hugged her close to him and kissed her hair "you know I would risk his friendship to be with you right? I love you..."Mae laughed a little "you and your dad can join forces right? They will look to their big brother to protect them!"
Damon threw the sandwich out of his hands "obviously!" When he was tired and weak his demon side showed up more often.
London smiled softly. "And I love you. But I also love my brother. It would be great if you two stayed on the same side, because I could never be on one of yours, or the other."Dem shrugged. "I suppose. Though Dad's pretty busy with Mom right now. I've kinda been left to take care of Taylor." He said, sighing.
Torch raised his hands in the air, "Ok! I'll go look for her. But Damon... please go back to bed, and actually sleep. You aren't helping anyone by being tired." He said as nicely as possible.
Mark nodded "of course! Let's head down and get some food...we should stay near James, so he doesn't feel isolated."Mae frowned realizing that Dem was feeling slightly abandoned "died that make you feel bad Dem? Feel like your not getting attention?"
Damon growled "stop telling me what to do! I'm going to find my wife and child!"
London nodded in agreement, walking out into the hall with him. "James!" She called. "We're going to get a snack. Come with?" She asked.Dem smiled a little. "No its fine. Mom and Dad deserve time to themselves." He said, shrugging. Ok, so maybe he was feeling a little abandoned, but he could deal with that.
Torch backed up a step. "Damon... I'm sorry, but is that really smart when you're like this?" He asked softly.
James looked up and shrugged "sure, why not?" Though really he knew he was going to feel like a third wheel. He loved his sister and he wanted to make this work.Mae frowned reading past that nonchalant answer "why don't you ever let them know?...really they just think you don't need them, you have your powers and slight ego...why do you hide behind that?"
Damon just stared at him and shook his head "I need to find her before I can worry about myself."
London smiled thankfully and walked downstairs with them. She opened up the fridge. "What are you boys feeling like?" She asked. Dem sighed, his shoulders slumping a little. "Because I've got a father I need to live up to." He said simply.
Torch sighed. "Can you just sleep for a couple hours first? I'll look for her during that time, and if I haven't found her, then you can go looking?"
Mark looked at James and shrugged "I'm good with anything..."James sighed "there's cold pizza in there Loo..."
Mae was a little shocked and put her hand on his shoulder "Damon is incredibly proud of you! You don't have to be like him to be powerful...he's not the mindless monster he was, and he doesn't want that."
Damon shook his head and searched for a syringe in the kitchen drawer and inserted it "I can be awake for weeks now, let's go!"
London nodded, pulling it out. She microwaved the whole box and brought it to the table, setting it down before she pulled out a slice. Dem shrugged. "Everywhere I go, I am known as "Damon's son". It's always, 'hey look! It's Damon's son'." He said, shaking his head. "If I'm not as good as they expect me to be..."
Torch raised an eyebrow, but consented, nodding. His wings unfurled and he sped out the front door. "You search the nearest city to the west, I'll search the nearest city to the east?" He offered, circling a couple times.
Night came early in England, and after working herself to exhaustion the whole day, Lexi collapsed in her room, falling asleep immediately.
Mark and James sat next to eachother but didn't say much or look at each other. You could have cut the tension with a butter knife as quiet bites were only heard.Mae pulled him into a hug "maybe you should find the true Dem, stop trying to be your dad and create the reputation of the amazing Demetri...not cocky or egotistical."
Damon tried to think of a place that a vamp could hide and not cause trouble, it wasn't in the states. He headed to Englsnd searching for small towns.
London fidgeted, hating how tense the atmosphere was. She only wanted her brother and boyfriend to get along. "So... camp is coming up..." She started. Dem sighed. "I've tried. But it's not as easy as that." He said, hugging Mae back.
Torch raised an eyebrow when Damon shot off across the sea, but he didn't ask questions as he followed close behind.
James nodded "Yeah, it's going to be great. What do you want to get into Loo?"Mark just continued eating.
Mae frowned "I think it can be...win the Games, beat your dad and show that you are as great of even greater."
Damon looked around, the town was asleep and empty. His body was weakening more with the adrenaline he shot into his system and collapsed.
London shrugged. "Healthcare, I guess. I'm not much good at anything else. Might try archery."Dem shook his head. "I wouldn't want to beat my Dad." he said softly. "Fathers are supposed to be someone to look up to. Not someone to beat, or compete with. I just want to be myself." He said softly.
Torch swore and swooped down. He knew Damon was pushing it by moving at all, let alone flying across the sea, let alone using fake energy shots. He scooped him up and searched for the nearest hotel. It was closed, so he started calling through the night, hoping someone would hear.
Lexi woke to the calls and shot up, recognizing Torch's voice. She dressed and looked in the mirror, sighing softly. They couldn't know it was her. She had to keep her distance for a couple months. She shifted her appearance to a young brunette with green eyes, and made herself a little shorter. She lead Torch into a spare room, gesturing for him to lay Damon down on the bed.
Mark looked and shook his head "not true! You were an incredible athlete at school!"James nodded "he's right Loo! You are awesome at soccer!"
Mae nodded and sighed "I wish I knew how to really help Demetri...I do know that my twins miss their friend."
Damon was out, his vitals were critical the flame burned off on both ends.
London flushed. "Well thanks you two. But demons don't play soccer, so I'm afraid that wont be much help." She said, sighing. Dem nodded, smiling a little. "I'll go over and say hi once Mom can watch Taylor again." He assured.
Torch pushed Lexi out of the room, not knowing it was her, and not wanting a human to see what he was going to do to try and help Damon.
Lexi didn't resist, she knew she couldn't blow her cover. She stood outside, watching through the crack in the door.
Torch sighed. "Damon... I really wish I didn't have to do this... Sorry if it's a bit of a shock." He said, delving into his reserves of heat. As he did so, his body lit on fire. He placed a hand over Damon's heart and closed his eyes as he channeled the power from himself into Damon's core.
James shook his head "no but athletics is, we just need to use those skills for demons!"Mae smiled "Dem, I can watch Taylor, trust me you can go see them or whatever you want!"
Damon was in agonizing pain but his body couldn't react to it, so he was trapped in his paralyzed shell of torture!
London nodded slowly. "Ok." She agreed, "I guess I'll try that out." She said, smiling. Dem grinned. "Thank you! I'll be right back." He flew to their house and swooped in to see them all eating pizza. "Did I already miss the party?" He asked.
Torch grit his teeth and pushed, trying to force the energy from his heat into Damon's core to light his eternal flame and get his body working again. The longer it took, the more he hurt his friend in the process, so he put as much strength into it as he could and shoved, transferring a good portion of his energy into Damon, enough to leave Torch shaking with exhaustion as his flaming body spurted and cooled.
James grinned and jumped hugging his best friend "Dem! Join the gang!" Damon started to come to and groaned "are you trying to BBQ me?..."
Dem chuckled and shook his head. "James. I am surprised. I didn't think you would be the type to join a gang." He teased. "But I'd be happy to be a part of yours."Torch smiled in relief, leaning against the headboard of the bed. "Welcome back from the dead." He said, his flame cooling down completely. "I'm sorry about the burning. But your flame died, and I lit it the only way I knew how." He said honestly.
Outside the door, Lexi sighed in relief when Damon woke.
James chuckled and shoved a piece of pizza in his mouth "it's a gang of charming and devious demons...plus now I'm not alone with the love birds!"Damon gave a weak smile "least Lexi doesn't know...she'd just..w..." He couldn't finish as he drooped off again, not critical but still pretty weak.
Dem took the pizza and ate a large bite, not denying he was hungry. Both his eyebrows raised then. "Lovebirds?" He asked. London flushed. "Uh, yeah. Mark and I...." She started, shy.
Torch chuckled softly. "Yeah, good thing." he whispered. He sat down on the end of his bed, sighing. Damon would need rest. Then he would ask why they were in England.
Lexi slumped against the door, sighing softly. This was tough, way too tough. She had to force herself not to run to Damon's aid, she had to force herself to keep her distance for his safety. It was hard.
Mark put his arm around her and smiled nodding "we are a couple now!" He said excited and nuzzled her.James mocked his friend and rolled his eyes "I need backup!"
Damon woke up the next week and looked around confused "Lexi?..." He fingered the blanket on him, this was hers...but how?"
London grinned, flushing again. "Yes. Yes we are." She kissed his cheek. Ever since they got back together again, life had been sunshine and rainbows. Dem chuckled softly. "I'm here for you." he promised. "That stuff is gross."
Lexi was downstairs in the kitchen, working hard like she had for the past week, working to earn the room for Damon, and for herself.
Torch shifted in the chair he had been napping in and smiled. "Morning. I see you're back from the dead. How do you feel?" When he noticed Damon fiddling with the blanket, he smiled. "That belongs to the maid. She's real sweet. Doesn't say much. The head of this house let us stay here, but I do think the girl had to chip in."
James nodded "I am grateful, so what has been going on in your life Dem?" He asked interested to know something other than his sister's relationship.Damon shook his head "this is Lexi's! She's here! I know it!" He scrambled out of bed looking for the maid.
Lexi smiled, relaxing a little more. "Thank you so much. I don't know what we would do without you guys." She shook her head. "Damon?" She called. "The Miltons offered to stay and take care of us, so you can go to bed now!"
Torch raised an eyebrow. "We did?" He asked himself. Then he smiled. "You heard the girl. Off to bed."
